This nicely tuned road trip novel from 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award-winner King begins in Ohio, where April Shea is a "pigheaded" 14-year-old girl who experiments with pot and constantly squabbles with her single mother, Marcy.

Earlier this week former Wallabies coach Bob Dwyer called Deans "pigheaded" after that recent defeat and ex-Test hooker Jeremy Paul, during The Rugby Club on Fox Sports, went so far as to call for Deans to be sacked if the team lose this weekend.
